According to Abidjan News Network reported on November 29, the government of Cote d 'Ivoire recently announced that the budget for 2024 Abidjan urban transportation project is 32.4 billion West Fart, equivalent to about 53.11 million US dollars.

The government of Cote d 'Ivoire says the budget will be carefully allocated to ensure that all aspects of the project are fully funded. Specifically, the budget will be allocated to the Bus Rapid Transit project (BRT), the Abidjan City Bus (Sotra) subsidy, the handicraft industry transport subsidy and the comprehensive management of the project.

The largest share of the budget will be allocated to the Bus Rapid Transit Project (BRT). The project aims to alleviate traffic congestion in the city of Abidjan and improve residents' travel efficiency through the construction of an efficient public transport system. It is reported that the project will receive nearly 20 billion west Fart, equivalent to about 327.9 billion US dollars in advance payments. This substantial investment demonstrates the Ivorian Government's commitment to solving the problem of urban transport.

In addition, a portion of the budget will be used to subsidize the Abidjan City Bus (Sotra). The subsidy policy aims to reduce the cost of bus travel for residents, encourage more people to use public transport and reduce private car travel, thereby reducing the pressure on urban traffic.

In addition, transportation subsidies for handicrafts are also an important aspect of the budget. The subsidy policy aims to support local artisans and encourage them to use environmentally friendly modes of transportation and reduce pollution to the urban environment.

Finally, part of the budget will be used for integrated project governance. This governance effort will include road repairs, traffic light improvements and other necessary urban infrastructure upgrades to improve the efficiency of the entire city's transportation system.

In general, the Government of Cote d 'Ivoire is committed to addressing urban transport problems in Abidjan through a fine allocation of the budget. This huge investment shows the government's determination to improve residents' travel conditions and promote sustainable urban development. At the same time, by supporting public transport and environmentally friendly modes of transport, the government is also pushing urban residents to adopt a greener, low-carbon lifestyle.
